Acne scars can leave lasting marks on the skin, affecting both appearance and confidence. While treating active acne early is ideal, many patients still struggle with stubborn scars even after breakouts have cleared. These scars may appear as deep pits, uneven texture, or raised marks — often leading to frustration and lowered self-esteem.
At GLOJAS Plastic Surgery Specialist Clinic in Kuala Lumpur, we provide advanced acne scar removal in Malaysia, combining medical expertise and the latest skin technologies to deliver safe, effective, and long-lasting results. Every treatment plan is customized to your skin type, scar pattern, and goals.
Small, deep pits that make skin uneven, often challenging to treat without professional resurfacing or laser treatments.
Shallow, wide depressions with sloping edges, giving wavy skin texture, caused by fibrous bands under the skin.
Round or oval indents with sharp edges, commonly on cheeks or temples, leaving skin textured and uneven.
Sunken or flat scars from tissue loss after severe acne, creating uneven skin that often needs resurfacing.
Raised, thick scars from excess collagen; keloids extend beyond acne areas, requiring specialized treatment.
Fractional CO2 laser is considered the gold standard for acne scar removal and skin resurfacing. This advanced treatment uses laser energy to create controlled micro-injuries, stimulating collagen production and encouraging skin regeneration. By resurfacing damaged tissue, it smooths deep boxcar and rolling scars, improves skin texture, and reduces pigmentation left behind by acne. The procedure selectively targets scarred areas while keeping surrounding skin intact, ensuring faster healing. With multiple sessions, patients can achieve significant long-term scar reduction, firmer skin, and a more even complexion, making it one of the most effective acne scar revision options.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine sterile needles to create microchannels in the skin. These tiny punctures activate the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Over time, this process improves skin texture, reduces rolling or shallow scars, and enhances overall skin smoothness. Microneedling has minimal downtime and is safe for various skin tones. When combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or growth serums, results are further enhanced. It is an excellent treatment for patients seeking gradual acne scar improvement with natural skin renewal.
Subcision is a highly effective acne scar revision technique for depressed or tethered scars. During this procedure, a fine needle is inserted under the skin to release fibrotic strands that pull the scar downward. By breaking these fibrous bands, the skin surface gradually lifts, leading to a smoother appearance. The treatment also triggers collagen production, which further improves scar texture over time. Subcision is often combined with dermal fillers or laser resurfacing for optimal results. It works best for rolling scars and offers lasting improvements in skin texture, making it a trusted method for scar correction.
Dermal fillers provide immediate results for patients with indented or atrophic acne scars. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, is injected beneath the scar to restore lost volume and lift depressions. This creates a smoother, more even skin surface. Fillers offer instant scar correction with little to no downtime, making them a convenient option for those seeking fast results. While temporary, lasting 6–12 months, fillers can be combined with subcision or laser treatments for longer-lasting improvement. They are ideal for patients wanting visible acne scar reduction with natural-looking results.
Chemical peels are a proven skin renewal treatment for post-acne scars and pigmentation. Medical-grade peeling solutions exfoliate the damaged outer skin layers, stimulating cell turnover and collagen production. This process improves uneven skin tone, reduces shallow scars, and brightens dull complexions. Depending on scar depth, light, medium, or deep peels may be recommended. Light peels require minimal downtime, while deeper peels target more stubborn acne scars with stronger results. Safe and effective when performed by aesthetic doctors, chemical peels help reveal smoother, rejuvenated skin, making them a versatile option for acne scar treatment and skin resurfacing.
Combination treatments are often the most effective approach for acne scar management, as no single method works for every scar type. Dermatologists may design a tailored protocol blending fractional CO2 laser, subcision, chemical peels, microneedling, or fillers to target different scar depths and textures simultaneously. For example, rolling scars may respond best to subcision, while boxcar scars benefit from laser resurfacing, and ice-pick scars improve with chemical peels. This multimodal approach ensures comprehensive scar improvement, addressing both surface irregularities and deep fibrous bands. Combination treatments maximize results, reduce downtime, and deliver smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin with long-lasting benefits.
